[IRCA] Verifications
Yes, and the FCC should require that all licensed stations hire a staff
member whose sole reponsibility is to ensure that all reception reports
be answered within a week, and that all stations run DX tests weekly.
How dare they ignore us DXers: who do they think they are, anyway?
Seriously, now, veries are a COURTESY. Stations have no obligation,
legal or otherwise, to send out veries. It's merely a favor to us and
we should not expect it to be otherwise.

Bert,
I think the FCC should require all licensed radio stations to keep QSL
cards
on hand to handle the high number of reception reports, no matter how few
are received. QSL cards can be printed up for as little as $10 per
1,000. When I
got my ham radio license back in 1992, I spent $20 to get 1,000 QSL
cards
printed up; some of them have been used by stations as verifications (most
notably WFWL 1220 Camden, TN and WCGO 1600 Chicago Heights, IL). That
would save
the copywriter a lot of headaches; all the engineer, program director or
general manager has to do is fill in the blanks......
